In January 2017, the founding members of the collective needed help and requested some of the artist from the group show and enlisted friends, Yetunde Olagbaju, Soleil Summer, Jaleesa Rosario, Adrian Walker, Wardell McNeal, Yoni Asega and Jared Mitchell that shared the same vision to inspire their creative and social communities.
